There are nice bikes out there that are way cheaper than Peloton. The sub cost is much higher too.Maybe it is just me but it took them way too long to launch this. Will use at until i can afford a Peloton / can safely go back to the gym.

To be fair, part of it is the cost of the Peloton, the other is the lack of space in my apartment.There are nice bikes out there that are way cheaper than Peloton. The sub cost is much higher too.
It’s a value thing. If you like the product and use it, then it’s worth it. I am, like I suspect most people on this forum are, a gadget geek who probably have a sizable storehouse of things we have purchased that are collecting dust to the chagrin of our spouses/partners. When it comes to fitness gear it’s much the same. With that said, the Peloton is the ONLY product/subscription that my whole family has used on an almost daily basis for more than 2 years. As my mother once taught me about value, take a product’s cost and divide it by the number of times you use it. A pretty solid formula in my eyes.There are nice bikes out there that are way cheaper than Peloton. The sub cost is much higher too.
On what basis do you make this statement "is mostly out of shape and has never done these moves" ?Given that most people who would be willing to do this kind of exercise is mostly out of shape and has never done these moves (and presumably won't be watching themselves do these moves) I predict injury and back related pain in many. No one spotting them. Range of motion exceeds daily norm. Form all out of whack.
Yes, Keiser M3i is a nice alternative. And the build quality is MILES beyond a Peloton bike.There are nice bikes out there that are way cheaper than Peloton. The sub cost is much higher too.
The spin bike I have cost about $800 and I can use it with any service including Peloton. The only feature I can't get access to on Peloton is leaderboards, even though my bike has a power meter in it. That feature is only open to people paying $35 a month that own their bike.It’s a value thing. If you like the product and use it, then it’s worth it.

I will try Apple‘s new service to see if it attains the same value as our Peloton.
This what I have and love it, https://www.schwinnfitness.com/ic4/100873.html. They keep raising the price, I got when it first came out. You can get it with a Bowflex layout too, but cost more because it has BF on it.To be fair, part of it is the cost of the Peloton, the other is the lack of space in my apartment.

The bike is near silent. The rider makes more noise huffing and puffing than you hear from the bike.your neighbors probably approve of you not getting a peloton lol
Another attempt to copy and destroy smaller App Store competitors. This is a plain copy of existing apps.
Apple Fitness+ is set to launch on December 14, and ahead of its debut, Apple's senior director of fitness technologies Jay Blahnik did an interview with WSJ. Magazine to answer some questions about Apple's newest streaming service.

Though now is an excellent time for a home workout program, Apple has been developing Fitness+ for more than five years. Apple has recruited a total of 21 trainers after an "intensive search" where "no gym was too gritty to visit." Fitness+ syncs the Apple Watch to the Apple TV, iPad, or iPhone so you can see progress, including relative to others. "Metrics is motivation," said Blahnik of the feature.Apple Fitness+ has a robust recommendation engine to suggest workouts to people. "We always say: it shouldn't take 20 minutes to find a 20 minute workout," said Blahnik. Fitness+ suggestions will work based on the workouts that you've done, with some gentle encouragement to try other workout types.
The service is meant to be "equipment agnostic." Many of the workouts can be done with no equipment, and others, such as cycling, will work with existing equipment from many brands. It's also designed for users of all levels.Apple Fitness+ will come with a three month free trial for anyone who purchased an Apple Watch Series 6, Series 3, or SE after the September 15 launch of those devices. The service will be accessible through the Fitness app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

They could have used SwiftUI to port it to macOS as well 🤷♂️ or you can buy a new M1 Mac and get the iPad version? 😅Why no Mac desktop app version? I was hoping to use my iMac screen.![]()
Open the Watch app, go to Activity, and literally turn off everything in there. You won’t get anything else 👌🏻The only thing I don't like about the fitness app on the watch is ... I have turned off notifications, but it still tells me when I have completed my "rings". And that I am half way thru a workout. To me, these seem to be ... notifications! As soon as these little missives stop hitting the fan, I'll be interested in Apple Fitness. 🍸😹
Since our lockdown is never going to end, I might give this a chance. I am getting bored of my life. I am pretty much stuck in Groundhog Day. Perfectly timed
THIS is goin to be a key for so many people in the western world as Condo's get much smaller and the murphy bed rises up to make for usable space. If no condo gyms can be used then it's in home space.To be fair, part of it is the cost of the Peloton, the other is the lack of space in my apartment.
Congratulations you win the award for the most handsome macrumor person I ever did see.Since our lockdown is never going to end, I might give this a chance. I am getting bored of my life. I am pretty much stuck in Groundhog Day. Perfectly timed
Just like at the gym.Given that most people who would be willing to do this kind of exercise is mostly out of shape and has never done these moves (and presumably won't be watching themselves do these moves) I predict injury and back related pain in many. No one spotting them. Range of motion exceeds daily norm. Form all out of whack.
I don't expect Fitness+ to offer content for seniors. But I hope I'm surprised!
Mirror from iPad or iPhone?Why no Mac desktop app version? I was hoping to use my iMac screen.![]()
No problem here.They will, but only for seniors who like rap and house beats.
